TAUNTON — After a series of five recent armed robberies all at one Taunton shopping plaza, investigators have arrested two suspects, according to the Taunton Police Department.

A 34-year-old Taunton man and 38-year-old Middleboro man were each arrested over the weekend in connection with at least one armed robbery at the 65 Taunton Depot Drive plaza.

James Randolph, 34, was arrested at his 819 County St. residence around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday night, Taunton police said. His address is listed by police as unit A17 within Deer Park, a apartment complex located behind the plaza. Alan McDavid, 38, of 3 Purchase St., Middleboro, was arrested on Friday at 3:47 p.m. around the time of the latest robbery at Papa Gino’s pizza, police said.

So far, the two have only been charged with armed robbery in connection to the robbery at Papa Gino’s on Friday.

But Taunton Police Chief Ed Walsh said that while investigation into the case continues, police are considering further charges in connection with the other recent armed robberies, including two other armed robberies at Papa Gino’s, another at Starbucks and another at Petco, all within that same plaza.

“We are not done with investigation,” Walsh said. “Obviously, there was a series of robberies. The individuals are potential suspects.”

Walsh said that Taunton police are currently withholding booking photos as police continue their investigation. But Randolph and McDavid are due to appear in Taunton District Court on Monday for an arraignment on at least one armed robbery charge, in connection to Friday’s robbery.

Walsh said that police believe it is “highly likely” that the duo were involved with other recent robberies at the plaza, and that police hope to charge them at the Superior Court level.

“We are still working,” Walsh said. “Our goals are potentially to get them indicted in Superior Court. … But as you are aware, there have been several robberies at that plaza in last month and a half. As we move forward, we’ll meet on the evidence, and see where stand on the probability of those robberies as well.”

Papa Gino’s was the target of armed robberies three times this month, with a man revealing what appeared to be a handgun in each of the instances, police said previously. The most recent armed robbery at Papa Gino’s was on Friday, when a surveillance camera captured an image of a suspect. The other two armed robberies occurred on Jan. 12 and Jan. 20.

The first in the recent string of armed robberies at the plaza happened at the neighboring Petco pet store, which was held up at gunpoint on Dec. 30. The Starbucks in the plaza was also the target of an armed robbery on Jan. 9.

“We had a break on Friday,” Walsh said. “We are pretty confident on that. We are confident they were involved with previous robberies as well, for various factors. As investigation continues we will decide (on the exact charges).”
